I totally agree with you.....that's how I do it

I've been pressing my binding since I started quilting. I will try this on my next quilt and see if I like it. I'm open to new ideas.

I did try this on a Table topper. I found where I had missed part of matching the raw edges(solid black), not convinced at the moment this is the method for me but I plan to try again when not working with black. I did see where the fabric seemed to lay nicer.

Bear, I'm going to try your method. Thanks!!

I always press because that's the way I was taught to do it, but I think I'll try not pressing next time.

I think I did this "automtically" - so did not even think to specifically mention it!

I never press my binding. I like the softer rolled edge to hand stitch in place. I do stitch my quilt sandwich close to the edge to hold it together then all I have to worry about is having the two raw edges of the binding aligned with the sandwich and stitch away. The stitching I did to hold the sandwich together is hidden in the seam allowance.

Don't press mine either.

I have always pressed my binding, but after reading about not pressing it I decided to try it. I basted the edges before I put it on the quilt, but was not happy with the way it turned to hand stitch on the back. I don't believe I will be one to change my way of doing on this.... always nice to give things a try, and a lot of times it is for the better!

I fold my binding in half and press, its always worked for me. My binding is sewn entire binding by machine, no hand sewing at all.
I don't want to baste the edges together, otherwise I'd have to undo it when I sew the final seam to finish the binding.
